New Zealand Warriors vs Dolphins prediction
New Zealand Warriors are in a good frame of mind right now and with them currently inside the top three heading into this latest round of fixture, this is a big opportunity for them to rack up another win. Back-to-back victories have seen them break out of their mini-slump and confidence is high ahead of Dolphins’ visit.
The visitors are struggling to find any sort of momentum right now, having lost each of their last three NRL fixtures. They are running into a team playing really well on both sides of the ball and a good start for the Warriors will likely see heads drop on the Dolphins side. Back the in-form home team to get the better of Dolphins.
